Tea Party Birthday Invitations: Floral Teapot Design with Bridal and Baby Celebration Tea Wording, Tea Etiquette Card, RSVP and Thank You Card in English and Spanish

A rose-pink teapot with one big flower on its belly sits at the top of every card here, a little cup and saucer beside it, while green vines dotted with pink blooms climb up both edges. Along the bottom are a second teapot, a cup and a few loose flowers. The card itself is warm cream inside a soft pink rounded border, and the script headings are a muted plum.

Three teas, one frame

Only the heading changes from one invitation to the next:

• “A birthday with tea and treats”, with a sample line for a child, “Avery is turning 8!”
• “A lovely bridal afternoon tea” for a shower held over tea
• “A sweet baby celebration tea” for a baby shower

Each comes at 5 x 7, 7 x 5, 4 x 6 and 6 x 4 in. On the two landscape sizes the teapot moves onto a pink side panel and the wording sits to its right. The photo version keeps the same layout and adds a rounded “Your photo” box above the heading. The sample names, address and phone number are made up, so replace every one.

The cards that go with it

A matching back, “The celebration details,” promises “Snacks, laughter and time together” and asks guests to tell the host about dietary needs. “Count me in!” is a 3.5 x 5 in reply card with lines for name, number of guests and dietary needs. The thank-you card reads “A big thank-you” on the front and “So glad you came” inside.

Then there is the card made to sit on the table: “A few tea-time smiles,” a 5 x 7 list of gentle house rules such as “Pass the treats before taking seconds” and “Compliment a story, not just the china.” Prop it up on the tea table where guests can read it.

In Spanish the three fronts read “Un cumpleaños con té y dulces,” “Una hermosa tarde prenupcial” and “Un dulce té para celebrar al bebé,” and the etiquette card becomes “Sonrisas a la hora del té.”

Personalizing and printing

Edit your copy of the Canva template linked from the access PDF, keeping printed details at 10 pt or larger and your picture inside the photo box. Print from Print-Letter or Print-A4 at Actual Size (100%) with Fit to Page off, then trim on the crop marks; the cards carry 0.125 in of bleed. Invitations, backs, the reply card and the etiquette card come two to a sheet, while the thank-you spreads and the liner print one per sheet. Match each thank-you outside with the inside in the same language, test the duplex direction on plain paper, and fold the 8.5 x 5.5 in spread down to 4.25 x 5.5 in.

To skip paper altogether, send one of the 1080 x 1920 phone images instead.

Questions

Can guests reply online?

No. The phone image is a picture to send by text or message, and guests answer through the contact details you put on the card.

How big is the envelope liner?

It is a 6.5 in square covered in small teapots and cups. Trace your own envelope flap onto it before cutting and gluing.
